Dr. Monica O'Neal

“It is important to find a therapist that is a good fit; someone with whom you feel comfortable and who takes your concerns seriously. I look forward to the opportunity to learn about you and work in a collaborative way to address your current stressors and the things you would like to change in your life. It is not uncommon to get stuck in unsatisfying and frustrating situations. Through the relationship with a therapist you can start to become aware of the things that are interfering with feeling better and use your strengths to make changes and move forward.

I am a staff psychologist at Harvard University's Health Services, in addition to teaching as a member of the Clinical Faculty in Harvard's Medical School. I integrate practical interventions with insight and support. I've worked with many issues including depression, anxiety, body image concerns, dating and relationship issues.

I consider myself interactive in sessions, maintaining a challenging yet warm, supportive, and encouraging presence. I have a good sense of humor and tend to help people feel at ease. I encourage feedback throughout our work together in order for you to have a satisfying experience in therapy.”
